AjcW Posted 19 January 2019 Share Posted 19 January 2019 Guessing despite the fact he never makes the squad, Chelsea can’t let him go before they replace Cesc as they’d be light in an injury crisis? If not then it’s a long time between bid going on and decisions being made... which could point to it being a permenant deal? Wonder if we’re writing off some of what they owe?

Danny would stay want the pay packet he was being given there, we'd be stupid giving him that so they'd probably pay a percentage of his pay packet aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WigstonWanderer Posted 20 January 2019 Share Posted 20 January 2019 (edited) Very much against this. For the last few months he was with us he was either injured or playing poorly, passing only backwards and sideways, and looking angry all the time. Then came his push to move at the last minute, dropping us in the shit and leading to the Silva fiasco. If he comes back he’ll presumably be paid more than most of the rest of the squad. He hasn’t played much in the last 18 months, so who knows what he’s like now. I very much respect what he did for us the the title season, but this would be a huge retrograde step for us. The club should make an example of him to show anyone else wanting to leave for glory that it is a risky proposition that could easily backfire. Edit: Having said all that I’d have Mahrez back in a heartbeat. Edited 20 January 2019 by WigstonWanderer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this post regarding Drinkwater, but you can have Mahrez, I’ll take Kante 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxinNotts Posted 20 January 2019 Share Posted 20 January 2019 Get him back ffs. Stop messing around. Get him back in a two with Ndidi, or in a three when away from home, with Ndidi and Hamza. Just get it done Claude! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamza, Drinkwater and Ndidi are good options in centre mid imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In footballing terms, it's been an absolute tragedy. I can remember he scored one brilliant goal for Chelsea but he's become the forgotten man of English football. It's such a shame because he worked so hard to get to pinnacle of the game only for it to all crumble away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can't be any less creative than Ndidi or Mendy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite fond memories, there is no indication he could recapture his form, and seems to have regressed at Chelsea. More creative is probably true, but at the cost of other aspects.

Ric Flair Posted 21 January 2019 Share Posted 21 January 2019 As a short term loan move it makes sense to try and rekindle what he once did for us, especially as Silva is likely to be going and no long term solution on the horizon. If it doesnt work out, then he goes back to Chelsea and we regroup in the summer. It is a real problem for us and Puel. If he can help break just a few crap teams down at home then the pressure will ease on Clause and who knows what that will do for his future and his vision at Leicester. Wow, I cant believe how positive I've been there on Claude. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuna Posted 21 January 2019 Share Posted 21 January 2019 We need midfield reinforcements if SIlva is moved out...we're a couple of injuries away from a Matty James/Andy King midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I don’t think so. He’s simply not in the managers plans. There’s been a few clubs in for him apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
